Images and copyright

This portal's policy requires images illustrating articles to be uploaded here.

People have created images which I would like to use in articles I'll be developing on important Indian rivers and connected personalities. Some of these are currently copyright asserted on a website I maintain.

How do they open accounts here to upload their images and release their works to accompany Citizendium articles. ...said Pradyumna Singh (talk) 04:44, 11 November 2014 (Please sign your talk page posts by simply adding four tildes, ~~~~.)

Unless the copyright holder chooses to join Citizendium and then releases their work to this project, you have to seek permission from them to use the material here, or ask them to release it under a licence that allows this. For copyrighted material, evidence of permission is placed on a subpage of the talk page, e.g. [[File talk:IMAGENAME.jpg/Permission]]. See also the third-party-uploading wizard.

frustrated at wikipedia, deleted some great articles

I am frustrated at wikipedia, further clarifying why another online encyclopedia is needed.

They deleted two or three great martial art articles on excellent practioners who clearly deserved the articles. I cannot find a way to recover the deletions.

  • Seikichi Iha
  • vladimir vasiliev

These two practioners are cleearly top practioners in their field. Sensei Iha is the highest ranking Okinawan Karate teacher in North America. Vasiliev is the Western Hemisphere leader is a Russian martial art called systema.

These articles should try to be recovered and brought to citizendium.

Anyone have any tips?
